Link Checking

I ran Xenu on interfacebus.com today. Xenu is a spider that goes out and checks all the links on a page or web site. I run Xenu about once a month against the web site. It's a free program to down load. The main stats returned are:
ok 5377 URLs 98.97%
user skip 1 URLs 0.02%
no info to return 1 URLs 0.02%
no connection 18 URLs 0.33%
forbidden request 8 URLs 0.15%
temporarily overloaded 1 URLs 0.02%
no such host 10 URLs 0.18%
timeout 9 URLs 0.17%
not found 5 URLs 0.09%
the resource is no longer available 1 URLs 0.02%
auth required 1 URLs 0.02%
server error 1 URLs 0.02%
Total 5433 URLs 100.00%

I checked all the ones returned as Time-out, No-connect and so on and came up with 5 dead links. There were 4 other dead pages, but Google cache showed them good just a few days earlier. So 5 dead links out of 5433 total links ~ not so bad. However those 5 bad links were listed on 20 different internal pages, so it toke a few hours to run the program and fix the errors.

Xenu checks local page-to-page links as well, so it's a great program for any webmaster.
